Interesting, any comments on why so many?

without knowing the average annual incapacitation rate, maybe “5” isn’t that many for the given time span.

WHACK: I can do whatever I want in an emergency. It says right here in the FARs.
If you just say “Split S”, it sounds a lot more legal….

Soooo if a 38yr old pilot becomes incapacitated in flight, does that become an argument for or against age 67?

No but hopefully delays single-pilot ops.

"Single pilot ops" will be mostly "ground ops" with a pilot (or monitor) present should anything go off script.

Either way if your going to break rules and allow a non cass non approved person up front why would it matter what seat you're in at that point. Everyone has different comfort levels
At Southwest? Very unlikely. FO's are getting very comfortable sitting in the right seat. Upgrade times are not speedy.
